Knex Guitar (Bass)

This my entry for TGKT Round 2. It is a bass guitar, very heavy (more than a Knexsayer!) and I can get at least 2 tunes out of it, with varying degrees of accuracy. See my video post for those (should be up before the 15th but seeing as each vid takes about 15 mins to upload...). I do realise that it only has one string, but it is much easier to play like this, and can support all 4 strings. It is slightly shorter that a 3/4 size bass, as the only even slightly playable parts of the strings are right by the top of the neck.

Hey il make you a deal.well if your interested and plz be... show me how to make this awsome guitar. and il add some pikups home made and il show you how to make it and insert it on this guitar to put it on a amp. cause well i want a knex guitar bas and this is the secound 1 i found. and its the best.

It's funny; I was recently trying to rig up an odd bass drum mechanism with that trampoline from the big air ball tower, one of those balls from the red designer kit thing, and a bunch of rubber bands and big square platform... It ultimately ended up failing miserably. I'm sure knexguy could do better than me :D

I don't have it, but I am rebuilding it for an Instructable. When I post I will post it as a full size model, with stringing instructions. This was built to be easily playable, that is the reason why the neck is shorter.

I used a system like this (side view of neck)<br/><br/>-|y||t||y||y||y||t||y|- <br/><br/>The y's are yellow connectors, the t's are tans, and there is a blue rod through the middle.<br/><br/>And tape on the fretboard.<br/><br/>Lots of layers = sturdy.<br/>
